I've just finished my annual card marathon... It seems MrO is incapable of writing Christmas cards even to close family without my reducing it to his just signing them, so between friends and both families I've done over 40 in one go and that's not taking into consideration the ones I did last week too! Thanks goodness we can hand deliver close ( Read more... )

Well what with the iffy weather, we didn't get out and about much this weekend. That meant no shooting, no gardening and not even a BBQ meal to save me doing all the cooking ( Read more... )

I had a nice shock this morning when I looked at the archery club website to see my second 1st Class score listed as well as a few of my other recent scores that are also quite close to a 1st Class score, therefore lowering my handicap! :) I'm presently shooting with a handicap of 51, where as a 1st Class score is a handicap of 50 - so pretty ( Read more... )

Well I for one can hardly believe what I've achieved in this past year at archery... Last week I managed to get my sight marks for 80 yards and yesterday I decided after a little fiddling with my center shot to attempt a scoring round at 80 yards and 60 yards (a Long National). So MrO and I started out he'd had a few ends of sighters at 80 yards ( Read more... )

The past two days have been spent shooting most of the time, as well as enjoying the incredible weather we've been having here ( Read more... )

At last I've had a really good sleep, the first time since the clocks went forward an hour! I'm feeling a LOT better and have so far managed to not only get up at 5am without biting peoples heads off, but put a casserole on for dinner tonight, do a load of laundry, feed people both breakfast and lunch along with various other bits and pieces that ( Read more... )

Although the weekend was great and my son's hockey team won there game 15-1, as well as archery being great and my scoring my second best ever score for a Bray I (only 4 points short of my top score), it's all rather gone to pot since the clocks changed ( Read more... )

Last night our beautiful big black boy Tigmut'hep had a hairball and was sick, so my little Ramses jumps up from the sofa and runs over to help clear it all up! It's so funny to watch him try and bury stuff on our wood floor - if given enough time he goes and gets tissues and covers things up like this and water spills! Gotta love a cat who does ( Read more... )

The scribe job at Brookes Uni was better than expected, although utterly exhausting... The 2nd year Creative Writing course tutorial was very interesting and a lot less intimidating than I'd feared. All in all it was a good day, though I do feel I've earned every penny as I typed for nearly 4 hours straight! At times I'm sure my fingers were ( Read more... )

Today has mostly been spent cleaning out the garage so we can get to our bikes in relative safety! ;) Having MrO home as well as our son is wonderful and so relaxing that I didn't even moan about the 3 loads of laundry I had to do today ( Read more... )
